Meanderings…

…and laptops

And finally, just cuteness…

I have been tagged. Sob. Grumble. No, no, no!

Hehe, actually, I’m secretly pleased about the fact that I’ve been tagged… I’ve always wanted to be but never have The above is the kind of reaction that other people seem to have when tagged so I’m just trying to be all blase. But otherwise I’m happy as a clam! (Hmm… are clams really that happy? Do they just not get depressed? Even with the global warming and the water pollution n all? I see another post forming here so I’ll close this paranthesis [I've been notorious for them from my very first blog post ])

Ok… Where was I? Happy as a clam… So, thanks atomic, crazybugga!

First, the rules:
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
- Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
- Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

Hmmmm… There’s not much people don’t already know about me but here goes:

1) I’m an obsessive punctuation freak… It’s a serious illness that could be fatal if allowed to develop. Wouldn’t be surprised if I have to seek medical attention soon, especially due to rising blood pressure cause by reading badly punctuated blog posts (hint, hint)

2) I can eat any kinda food… And I mean ANY kind… I’m not even averse to trying frogs or snails or even… gasp… tomatoes! A serious foodie.

3) I like knowing how things work… Languages, machines, people, whatever.

4) I wear a belt with jeans. The stupid jean-makers seem to be incapable of making pants that fit me. Either too loose or too tight. Waaah.

5) I catch a cold overnight, every night of every week of every month of every year. These colds generally disappear in the morning about 20 minutes after waking up.

6) I love buying books… Not just reading them but BUYING them, holding them, smelling them. They can be in any state… First hand, second hand, crumbling and falling apart, pirated… It’s such a rush to buy them, somehow.

You’re a Hyena!

You have quite a sense of humor, though many others find it derisive
rather than appealing. You are perceived as being a coward, but actually have moments
of great bravery and have even stood up to those much larger than yourself. You like
hanging out in groups and are always making a lot of noise. Disney thinks you are an
idiot.

Well, this is another bit of cheating but not out of desperation. I really wanted to put up my all time/current fave quotes. They’re really mixed up–serious one mixed with the funny ones–but love ‘em all! Haven’t included poetry though. That would make it too long (it already is!) Well enough preamble…

A mirror
keeps me honest.
With your eyes I see me
doubting my sanity.

And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

We’re just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl
-Pink Floyd “Wish You Were Here”

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
-Sting “Fragile”

But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
- Oasis “Little by Little”

Let them eat cake
-Queen Marie Antoinette (when told that the people had no bread)

By the time this is over, I’m gonna need a whole lota serious therapy. Look at my eye twitchin’!

I want my Miranda rights! You were supposed to say I have the right to remain silent! You didn’t say I have the right to remain silent!

Donkey! You HAVE the right to remain silent! What you lack is the ability!

If I ever met myself, I’d hit myself so hard I won’t know what’s hit me.

The Universe was created and a lot of people were unhappy.

For a moment, nothing happened. After a moment, nothing continued to happen.

“Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.”
-Benjamin Disraeli. (NOTE: Reading addict that I am, I don’t necessarily agree with this. Thought that it maybe had a glimmer of truth in it.)

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take your breath away
- From “Hitch”

“It is only possible to succeed at second-rate pursuits — like becoming a millionaire or a prime minister, winning a war, seducing a beautiful woman, flying through the stratosphere, or landing on the moon. First-rate pursuits — involving, as they must, trying to understand what life is about and trying to convey that understanding — inevitably result in a sense of failure. A Napoleon, a Churchill, a Roosevelt can feel themselves to be successful, but never a Socrates, a Pascal, a Blake. Understanding is forever unattainable. Therein lies the inevitability of failure in embarking upon its quest, which is nonetheless the only one worthy of serious attention.”
Malcolm Muggeridge, 1965

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months

Kill 1-20 and you’re a Murderer
Kill 30 – 1000 and you’re a Terrorist
Kill 10.000 – 20 million and you’re a Conqueror/Dictator
Kill everyone and you’re God

Farnsworth: These are the dark matter engines I invented. They allow my starship to travel between galaxies in mere hours.
Cubert: That’s impossible. You can’t go faster than the speed of light.
Farnsworth: Of course not. That’s why scientists increased the speed of light in 2208.
